Dissection of the genetic architecture of rice resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae using a genomewide association study

Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), usually causes serious rice yield loss in many countries. Rice breeders have used resistance (R) genes to control the disease but many of the resistant cultivars become susceptible few years after releasing. Identification of new R genes to Xoo is one of the main objectives in rice breeding programs. In this study, we used a genomewide association study (GWAS) to analyse the resistance against the Xoo race C1 using the Rice Diversity Panel 1 (RDP1). Disease evaluation of the RDP1 population to C1 indicated that the AUS subgroup conferred a higher level of resistance to C1 than other subgroups. Genomewide association mapping identified 15 QTLs that are distributed on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12. Some of them are located in the regions without known resistance loci or QTLs. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of GWAS on the genetic dissection of rice resistance to Xoo and provided many Xoo resistance‐associated SNP markers for rice breeding.     

Utilization of Proteases from Aspergillus Species for Peptide Synthesis via the Kinetically Controlled Approach

We examined Aspergillus melleus protease (Amano protease P) and A. oryzae protease (Amano protease A) as catalysts for peptide bond formation via the kinetically controlled approach. As the coupling efficiency was only moderate, even with a good amino acid substrate as the carboxyl component, in acetonitrile as a solvent (with or without a small amount of added water) that we had mainly employed previously in α-chymotrypsin catalyzed couplings, other solvent systems were sought. In 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol-DMF (1:1) without added water, these Aspergillus proteases were found to remain active for a long period of time and to be utilizable for peptide synthesis when the carbamoylmethyl ester was employed as the acyl donor, though the coupling efficiencies were dependent rather largely on the combination of the amino acid residues at the coupling site. The superiority of the carbamoylmethyl ester to conventional esters, for example the methyl ester, was once again established. Furthermore, some segment condensations were also achieved by the same procedure.     

基因枪转化获得的转基因水稻中外源基因整合与表达规律研究

通过基因枪法将cecropin B和bar基因共转化水稻,获得多个水稻优良品系的转化材料,对转基因的结构和表达的系统分析,发现外源基因的整合模式多种多样,有简单也有复杂,其中插入位点数的变化范围为1－7个,拷贝数的变化范围为1－10个,转基因拷贝数的多少与其表达和沉默不存在必然的联系,相同整合模式的转基因事件中基因的表达存在较大的差异,选择标记基因bar比非选择标记基因cecropin B的表达框的完整性和转录概率要高,但是发现大部分表达框完整的bar基因发生基因沉默,而在终止子发生序列丢失的cecropin B基因的表达则明显提高。     

Reactive Extraction of the Acylglycerides Present in Various Materials using Rhizopus oryzae Resting Cells

We carried out reactive extractions at moderate temperatures using Rhizopus oryzae resting cells and various solid materials containing different proportions of vegetable oil. Our methodology allows for free fatty acids and either methyl or solketal fatty esters to be prepared in moderate to high yields. Moreover, the process can be carried out in either a solvent or a solvent-free system. In a solvent-free system, the final yield can be increased if easily ground solid material is used. The water present in each material and the solvents used has an influence on the results.

中国、日本和菲律宾水稻白叶枯病菌遗传多样性比较分析

用IS-PCR和Rep-PCR对19个来自中国、日本和菲律宾的水稻白叶枯病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae)群体进行遗传多样性分析.4个专化引物中的IS1113和ERIC能较好的区分三国水稻白叶枯病菌.UPGMA聚类结果表明,三国菌株主要呈现第2簇和第3簇遗传型;中国和菲律宾菌株在第2簇和笫3簇遗传型基础上有各自的特异性分化.病原菌的遗传分簇与致病群之间没有相关性.     

水稻对白叶枯病Xanthomonas oryzae pv.Oryzae水平抗性的数量性状位点(QTL)定位

利用“Lemont/特青”重组自交系（RI）群体研究了水稻对白叶枯病致病菌株CR6的水平抗性。双亲和F1均为感病,重组自交系（RILs）的病斑长度（LL）为带有明显双向超亲的连续变异,显示出典型的多基因遗传特征。部分重组自交系（约占总数90％）对CR6表现高水平抗性（LL≤3cm）。利用由178个良好分离的RFLP标记构建的饱和连锁图,鉴定出11个数量形状位点（QTLs）和3对互作位点解释了RI群体的大部分病斑变异。抗性QTLs定位于水稻第2、3、4、8、9、10、11、12等8条染色体。在来自特青的Xa－4位点上检测到一个有很大加性效应的QTL。其余10个QTLs的抗性等位基因有7个来自特青,3个来自Lemont。研究结果表明多个数量性状位点和失效主基因（Xa－4）残效的累加效应构成了对白叶枯病水平抗性的遗传基础,是重要的抗性组成部分。可以预期在DNA标记的辅助下,这些数量性状位点与主效抗性基因的组合将使水稻品种具有持久抗病性。

利用稻瘟霉分生孢子萌发时菌丝形变为指示,从150余株放线菌中筛选到一株抗肿瘤活性很强的菌株JXJ-0108,并从其发酵液中纯化到一个抗肿瘤活性较强的化合物JXJ-0108-1,该化合物在治疗胃癌和肝癌的药物研制中具有潜在的价值。四氮唑盐酶还原法(MTT)体外研究表明,JXJ-0108-1对人肝癌细胞BEL-7402和人胃癌细胞BGC-823的IC50分别为1.63和0.95 ug/mL;流式细胞仪分析表明,分别从0.50和0.30 ug/mL的化合物作用浓度开始,与空白对照组相比,肝癌细胞BEL-7402和胃癌细胞BGC-823的G0/G1、S和G2/M期细胞比例有极显著差异,其中G0/G1和S期细胞比例降低,G2/M期细胞比例上升。本文为抗肿瘤放线菌的筛选及活性成分的跟踪分离提供了一个快速简便的有效方法。
